Lyrics

1. THE HINDUTIMES

I get up when I am down
I can't swim but my soul won't drown
I do believe I got flare
I got speed and I walk on air
'Cause God gimme soul in your rock'n'roll
'Cause God gimme soul in your rock'n'roll
And I get so high I just can't feel it
And I get so high I just can't feel it
In and out my brain, running through my veins
'Cause you're my sunshine you're my rain
There's a light that shines on
Shines on me and it keeps me warm
It gimme peace I must say
I can't sleep ‘cause the world won't wait


2. FORCE OF THE NATURE

Yeah I feel like the force of nature
Could make you sing like a bird released
If what you seek is the wise man's treasure
You know it's buried beneath your feet
You know you look like faded picture
I see the cracks freezing on your skin
And as the world slowly turns and hits you
That the thieves of the night
Are coming to take you in
For smoking all my stash
And burning all my cash
I bet you knew right away
It's all over town that
The sun's going down
On the days of your easy life
I bet you knew right away
You dope you don't know where it's at
It's all over town
That the sun's gone down
And it's high time to pray
Yeah I feel like the force of nature
Could make you sing like a bird released
If what you seek is the wise man's treasure
You know it's buried beneath your feet
You know you look like a faded picture
I see the cracks frozen on your skin
And as the world slowly turns and hits you
Then the thieves of the night
Are coming to take you in
For smoking all my stash
And burning all my cash
I bet you knew right away
It's all over town that
The sun's going down
On the days of your easy life
I bet you knew right away
You dope you don't know where it's at
It's all over if you're begging me please
Then get on your knees and pray
For smoking all my stash
And burning all my cash
I bet you knew right away
It's all over town that
The sun's gone down
And it's high time to pray


3. HUNG IN A BAD PLACE

I can go where I wanna
Be who I wanna be now
I can sleep under water
Never worried what I'm gonna dream now
Yeah the times come and gone
And I know where I'm from
And can be so
It's hasta manana
You're on your own banana skin feet now
Yeah I've been hung in a bad place
Had no sun over my face
Yeah I've been hung in a bad place
For too long
I can say what I wanna
Feel how I wanna feel now
I can squeeze all the hours
I choose to devour with ease now
I can sing to the trees
Tarzan on harmonies for free yeah
You've been blocked and you're stalling
Nature is calling for me
Yeah I've been hung in a bad place
Had no sun over my face
Yeah I've been hung in a bad place
For too long


4. STOP CRYING YOUR HEART OUT

Hold up
Hold on
Don't be scared
You'll never change what's been and gone
May your smile, may your smile
Shine on, shine on
Don't be scared
Your destiny may keep you warm
Cos all of the stars
Are fading away
Just try not to worry
You'll see them some day
Take what you need
And be on your way
And stop crying your heart out
Get up, get up
Come on, come on
Why are you scared, I'm not scared
You'll never change
What's been and gone
Cos all of the stars
Are fading away
Just try not to worry
You'll see them some day
Take what you need
And be on your way
And stop crying your heart out
Cos all of the stars
Are fading away
Just try not to worry
You'll see them some day
Take what you need
And be on your way
And stop crying your heart out
We're all of us stars
We're fading away
Just try not to worry
You'll see us some day
Just take what you need
And be on your way
And stop crying your heart out
Stop crying your heart out
Stop crying your heart out


5. SONG BIRD

Talking to the songbird yesterday
Flew me to a place not far away
She's a little pilot in my mind
Singing songs of love to pass the time
Gonna write a song so she can see
Give her all the love she gives to me
Talk of better days that have yet to come
Never felt this love from anyone
She's not anyone
A man can never dream these kinds of things
Especially when she came and spread her wings
Whispered in my ear the things I'd like
Then she flew away into the night
Gonna write a song so she can see
Give her all the love she gives to me
Talk of better days that have yet to come
Never felt this love from anyone
She's not anyone


6. LITTLE BY LITTLE

We the people fight for our existence
We don't claim to be perfect but we're free
We dream our dreams alone with no resistance
Faded like the stars we wish to be
You know I didn't mean what I just said
But my God woke up on the wrong side of His bed
And it just don't matter now
Little by little we gave you everything you ever dreamed of
As little by little the wheels of your life have slowly fallen off
Little by little you have to live it all in all your life
And all the time I just ask myself why are you really here
True perfection has to be imperfect
I know that that sounds foolish but it's true
The day has come and now you'll have to accept
The life inside your head we gave to you


7. A QUICK PEEP (instrumental)


8. (PROBABLY) ALL IN THE MIND

Show me who you are
I'll show you what you love
I'll give you half the world if that's enough
Let me take you down
Let me hear you smile
Let me rest my head here for a while
In the end we'll leave it all behind
Because the life I think I'm trying to find
Is probably all in the mind
Show me who you are
I'll show you what you love
I'll give you all the world if that's enough


9. SHE IS LOVE

Oh when the sunshine beckons to you
And your wings begin to unfold
The thoughts you bring and the songs you sing
Are gonna keep me from the cold
And if the sword is among you
and its words may wound my soul
you can fill me up with what you've got
‘Cause my heart's been keeping old
She is love
And her ways are high and steep
She is love
And I believe her when she speaks
Love
And her ways are high and steep
She is love
And I believe, I do believe her when she speaks
You're in all my thoughts of passion
And the dreams of my delight
Whatever stirs my mortal frame
Will you keep it warm at night
I don't know where you come from
No I haven't got a clue
All I know is I'm in love
With someone who loves me too


10. BORN ON A DIFFERENT CLOUD

Born on a different cloud
From the ones that have burst round town
It's no surprise to me
That yer classless, clever and free
Loaded just like the gun
You're the hero that's still unsung
Living on borrowed time
You're my sun and you're gonna shine
Talking to myself again
This time I think I'm getting through
It's funny how you think
It's funny when you do
Lonely soul
Busy working overtime
Nothing ever gets done
Specially when your hands are tied
Lonely soul
Baking up your mother's pride
Nothing ever gets done
Not until your war's won


11. BETTER MAN

I wanna love you
I wanna be a better man
I don't wanna hurt you
I just wanna see what's in you hand
But all right now, yeah, yeah
Well all right now, yeah, yeah
And I know you'll understand
And I know you'll understand
I wanna love you
I wanna be a better man
I don't wanna hurt you
I just wanna see what's in you hand
But all right now, yeah, yeah
Well all right now, yeah, yeah
And I know you'll understand
And I know you'll understand
I wanna be a better man
